Exploring the Interfaces (ETI) 3 will take
place at McGill University from May 8-10, 2014.
This workshop will be the last of three
workshops organized by the McGill Syntactic
Interfaces Research Group (McSIRG) as part of a
multi-year grant to study linguistic
interfaces. Following ETI 1 (Word
structure) and ETI 2 (Implicatures,
alternatives and the semantics/pragmatics
interface), the topic of ETI 3 will be 'Prosody
and Constituent Structure'.

In particular, ETI 3 will deal with issues
surrounding prosodic and phonological evidence
for syntactic constituent structure, with a
focus on verb-initial languages.

Goals of the Workshop:

- To bring together researchers working on
issues at the syntax-phonology interface (e.g.
syntactic constituency, prosodic effects on
word order) from the perspectives of syntax,
prosody, and phonology/phonetics
- To bring together researchers working on a
variety of different languages, with an
emphasis on languages with default verb-initial
word order
- To encourage communication and discussion
about methodologies that can be used for the
empirical study of prosody and the
syntax-phonology interface

Many companies also offer a gift matching
program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your
human resources department and sending us a
form that the EMU Foundation fills in and
returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles
the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a
moment to check if your company operates such
a program.
